In a world that is always moving—sometimes far too quickly—it’s easy to lose sight of the little pauses that keep us grounded. That’s why we believe in choosing calm. In the soft flicker of a candle, the quiet ritual of self-care, and the gentle reminder that peace can be found in the simplest of moments. Choose Calm Choosing calm is about intention. It’s the conscious decision to step away from the rush, even for just a few minutes. Lighting a candle, applying a little hand cream, sipping a warm drink—these small acts signal to your mind and body that it’s time to slow down, breathe, and create a space for yourself amidst the chaos. Slow Moments, Soft Light There’s something almost magical about the way candlelight transforms a space. When the flame flickers through glass, it softens sharp edges and casts a warm, inviting glow that feels like an embrace. The room seems to exhale, shifting from bright and busy to calm and cocoon-like. Everyday corners feel more intimate, conversations ...

There’s nothing more magical than seeing our products come to life in the hands of other creatives. Each piece begins its journey in our studio, crafted with care and attention to detail — but it’s when they find their way into the hands of photographers, stylists, makers, and dreamers that they truly shine. We love watching how each person’s unique vision transforms our soaps, candles, and homewares into something new, telling a story we could never have imagined on our own. It’s a reminder that creativity is a beautiful collaboration, and the magic is always multiplied when shared. We adore seeing our products come to life beyond the shelf—and this recent shoot with talented photographer Matt Cornell  and stunning model Amelia Kellerman was pure magic. We had never collaborated on something like this before but we were excited to go for it. Photographer Matt instantly put us at ease. Before the shoot began, he talked us through everything he intended to do, the mood he wanted t...

There’s something timeless about the pairing of pink and white. It’s gentle, calming, and quietly confident — like a whisper of spring or the first light through sheer curtains. In post  we’re shining a light on three of our prettiest pink pieces — candles, melts, and homewares that bring a sense of softness and warmth to any space. Each pick has been chosen for its delicate detail and decorating charm. Whether you’re gifting or adding a little beauty to your own home, these pieces are made to be cherished. A true showstopper in soft pink, this candle jar is topped with a sculpted camellia lid — equal parts functional and floral. It’s the kind of piece that doesn’t just scent your space, but  elevates  it. Once the candle has burned through, reuse it as a trinket pot or a delicate little storage jar for things too pretty to hide.

Here at Soaps Candles and Home, we hate the idea of anything ending up in landfill. That’s why, right from the beginning of our candle-making journey, we carefully considered how our vessels could be reused — even after the final flicker of the flame. Every jar, pot, and holder we create has been tested with reuse in mind, so once your candle has burned through, it’s just the start of a new story. Here are our top 5 reuses This dolphin pot was the perfect size for my claw clips - keeps them together and tidy I found the wild horses pot perfect for my hair ties. It stopped them getting caught in my claw clips and was the perfect size. And the cotton buds? They’ve found a new home in our little sailboat pot. It's such a joy seeing these vessels continue to be part of everyday life, long after the candle has burned down. Instead of having an untidy bathroom, everything now has its place — and it all looks so pretty! Our reused candle pots have helped create a space that’s not only mo...
